How to deal with Soccer parents

Dealing with parents of football is one of the most important, and sometimes less enjoyable tasks a coach soccer youth. As a youth soccer coach for many years, I have encountered many situations with parents. I learned the hard way to experience the best way to deal with parents of football.

Firstly, from the outset, you need a set of rules and expectations of players and parents. We present these parents at a very early stage in writing and ask them to sign that in addition to these conditions. I have a charity prepared and read the content, while parents are concentrated. This lets parents know where you stand and what is acceptable and what isn't. This prevents many future situations occurring as you can simply refer to it at a later date.

Some of the rules will insist on it:

Only positive comments from the scenes for all players

No promeletimenis players as this is my job.

No criticism towards the arbitration.

These are only some of my personal rules.

Also give parents a way to troubleshoot any problems. Ask not my approach before, during or immediately after a game from such feelings could be high in these moments. Ask them to speak first with the administrator to see if the problem can be solved. If the problem cannot be solved this way, please feel free to send me an email. If you need a face-to-face, I arrange an appointment at a convenient time for both. Typically, this delay in the process allows time to be lodged.

During a meeting can I make sure to listen carefully and do not hesitate to proceed. Remain calm. I then explain the diplomatic side of the story my parent and propose a solution. This method works almost always. Only very rarely is that the problem is not resolved after that.

I always make sure should not be directly critical of Media player. I say things as young players always make mistakes and that this would be a good learning process or acting as a life lesson.

One problem I had with a few individual parents was that promeletimenis player from the sideline. It is called a parent meeting and told the whole group because it was important that they did coaches. I like the player points will be confused by having two sets of guidelines and that it would not be able to make their own decisions, if they were coached by parents from the sideline players. This quick 5 minute appointment parent worked as I explained the reasons why.
